FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HPC, SES, and SchoolsOPEN Unite as Edsana, Bringing School Medicaid Billing and K-12 Finance Together Under One National Partner
New brand reflects 35 years of combined expertise and more than $2 billion recovered for the 700-plus school districts served nationwide
Chicago, Illinois — September 17, 2026 — Healthcare Process Consulting (HPC), SES, and SchoolsOPEN today announced they have united under a single brand, Edsana, bringing school Medicaid billing and K-12 finance solutions together under one national partner for the first time. The rebrand consolidates 35 years of combined, state-specific experience serving public school districts nationwide.
Edsana will operate two service lines under the new brand: school Medicaid billing and compliance, covering billing and reconciliation, Random Moment Time Study (RMTS) coordination, cost reporting, and Medicaid Eligibility Rate coordination; and Finance ERP, a cloud-based fund accounting, payroll, HR, and time and attendance system purpose-built for K-12 districts. Both service lines will continue to be led by the same teams that have supported districts under the HPC, SES, and SchoolsOPEN names.
“Our three-year vision is a national brand with cutting-edge technology, and that boutique customer service feel that school districts have trusted for over 35 years,” said Kritesh Patel, CEO of Edsana. “Bringing HPC, SES, and SchoolsOPEN together as Edsana is the first step toward that vision. Districts working with us will see the same team and the same commitment to transparency they always have, now under one name.”
Since 1989, Edsana's school Medicaid billing team has recovered more than $2 billion for the more than 700 school districts it serves nationwide, through a transparent, all-inclusive pricing model designed to eliminate the add-on charges common among billing vendors. Edsana's Finance ERP team brings decades of experience building finance, payroll, and HR software purpose-built for school districts, rather than adapted from generic commercial accounting platforms.
The move comes as school districts face a widening gap between what generic, enterprise-built software and services offer and what K-12's specific regulatory and operational demands actually require. From state-specific Medicaid billing rules to fund accounting standards unique to public education, districts are increasingly seeking partners built specifically around how school systems operate, rather than adapting platforms and services designed for other industries. Edsana's combined scale and singular focus on K-12 is built to meet that need.
Edsana serves school districts nationwide, with continued growth planned across both service lines as the company expands its national footprint.
